Nice work, I have a 96 and a 98.
the airbox on them could certainly use some help. It just blankly pulls air from behind headlight.

Tonight i probably will take out the spark plugs and do a compression check. If something doesn't look right I will take the heads off and redo the headgasket while I'm there. I need to get another LIM gasket so I'll just get the set this time incase compression is bad

Did a compression test. Plugs looks like I have a spark problem. I changed the spark plug wires to NGK ones and also noticed one of the dist screws was hardly in and the cover was able to move... Hope that will fix that
Compression was alright. Between 140-150. I missed middle cylinder on the driver side as it was blocked by steering shaft.
I had decided to get a jeep steering shaft and will check the last cylinder while I swap them.
Last thing I need to fix is the brake line to front passenger wheel, it's leaking somewhere. So grabbed a replacement while I went to get the steering shaft.
Things are looking up again! I need to find some 17s and I got a hook up on some tires
